Ramp Weight

The total weight of the aircraft when loaded and ready for taxi, including all fuel, occupants, and baggage. Ramp weight is the heaviest the aircraft will be during the flight and accounts for fuel that will be burned during engine start, taxi, and run-up before takeoff. Some aircraft have a maximum ramp weight listed in the POH that is slightly higher than the maximum takeoff weight, specifically to account for the fuel consumed during ground operations.
